Chapter 109: Retrial Again, I Don't Love Money... (2/4)
This circle is too chaotic, the unspoken rules or something, it has almost become synonymous with the entertainment industry!
Before the famous performing artist became very popular, he once said that if the object of the unspoken rules was Amou, I would agree, and explained that you can be promoted to the first line after diving, such a good thing, I don't think anyone will refuse!
Don't mention who this artist is, analyze it, why is Lao Mouzi?
It's not because the resources in Lao Mouzi's hands are too dazzling!
A drama directly promotes you to the second line!
Many people say that the entertainment industry is a capital game, and there is a certain truth, how can you make a film without money?
Do you generate electricity with love?
Capital is withdrawing from the market, and the distrust of the whole society has led to widespread financing difficulties for film and television companies...
A lot of projects are halfway through the preparations, and then the funds are withdrawn...
……
"People" magazine made an exclusive interview with Lu Xiaoran.
In fact, since the year before last, Lu Xiaoran has not been interviewed very seriously, most of the time, it is to promote the movie.
He didn't think it was necessary.
I used to like to pretend to be forced and express some opinions that were ahead of the times...
Later, I felt that there was no point in pretending to be forced or not, which did not affect his forcing style at all!
No one will deny that oranges are currently a banner in the Chinese film industry!
And decent...
It's hard to do that!
Just ask which man doesn't want to get drunk and lie on a beautiful wife, even Master Ji wrote his straightforward pursuit of desire in his diary!
is in the center of the entertainment industry, which is drunk and gold-obsessed, can Boss Lu always have zero scandals?
It is the nature of men to explore the birthplace of life!
Harvest...
After hammering the sixth master to death, many media wanted to get Lu Xiaoran's exclusivity and wanted him to talk about his views on this matter.
It's a pity that he didn't promise any of them, including "Southern Weekly", "Sanlian"...
If it weren't for the previous friendship, Lu Xiaoran would not have spent half a day with a reporter to talk nonsense, how good it would be to have that time to watch a movie with his wife!
……
Tangtang has been a bit obsessed with Xing Ye's movies lately, or Hong Kong comedies.
Starting from Xu Guanwen's ghost horse comedy, to Shi Tian, Mai Jia's comedy, Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung's action comedy, Huang Baiming's happy ghost, Wang Jing's, pee, fart, Gu Dezhao, Li Lizhi and Stephen Chow's nonsense...
"Why are there so many stars in this movie?"
“… Sammo Hung was indeed the big brother at that time!"
They are watching "Rich Train", not to mention the plot of this movie, there are countless cameo stars, big names gathered, and heroes gathered: Yuan Hao and Wu Ma all came to play soy sauce - it is said that in order to shoot "Rich Train", Sammo Hung paralyzed almost all Hong Kong studios with a phone call, and many popular stars came to make cameos.
Sammo Hung had a very strong appeal in Hong Kong back then, the "Five Lucky Stars" series, "Five Lucky Stars" as the beginning of this series, not only opened the river of many male protagonists, but even the supporting roles were big names at the level of Jackie Chan and Yuan Biao.
At the end of "Summer Lucky Star", when Wu Fuxing and the other protagonists escorted the villain to the elevator, more than a dozen popular Hong Kong movie stars came out of the elevator, and each of them had a similar line when they walked out of the elevator: "Wow, why is it so messy", "Is there a mistake"...
In those years, Sammo Hung created a number of all-star movies, "Rich Corps", "Oriental Condor", "Dragons and Phoenixes", and "Loyal and Righteous Heroes". It can be said that as long as there are movies with Sammo Hung's participation, the lineup will definitely not be weak.
It's a pity that Hong Kong movies are yesterday after all!
Lu Xiaoran smiled and continued: "Later, Hong Kong gangster movies inherited this tradition, "Yiben Without Words", "Jianghu Love" series, "Dragon Family" is also known as "Yan Family Shovel Family"..."
"Shovel?"
"It's the meaning of the tragic death of the whole family..."Dragon Family" imitates "The Godfather", it is not in place, the family heroes in the whole film are more and more miserable than the other, and they are determined to innovate and run all the way on the way to receive the lunch, so that the audience can truly appreciate the spiritual core of the whole film: live a rich life and die a wonderful death!"
“… I didn't expect you to know so much about movies!"
"I'm counting on this for dinner!"
The couple chatted about Hong Kong movies all morning, and then, Lu Xiaoran's phone rang, and the interview team of People magazine had arrived...
"Then I'll go out first!"
Sugar Candy: "... You control the point, don't say anything!"
"Don't worry, I'm not Teacher Cui!"
……
First of all, in response to the Teacher Cui incident, let Lu Xiaoran talk about some views.
"What's there to talk about here, the film industry practitioners enjoy extremely high convenience! China's high-paid class, the part of the monthly income of more than 80,000 yuan, are all paid according to the 45% tax rate, in contrast, the artist's personal income tax is indeed a little less, the income of the stars before, the individual income tax is only about 6%!"
"The tax office will definitely adjust it for this..."
"Then why do you think you want to escape even the 6% personal income tax?"
“… Sometimes there are shortcuts, and when you take a shortcut, you forget about the right path!"
What else could it be?
Greedy, and think it's not a big deal, because the whole industry is doing it!
"Culture is a productive force and a manifestation of the country's soft power, not and should not be a tool for some people to illegally enrich themselves. ”
"However, I look at the reports on the Internet, many self-media are really nonsense, neither understand the industry situation, nor do they want to understand, even the most basic data, readily available, data that can be found by casual search, every day the public data are not willing to quote, only willing to emotionally convey some hearsay, so that the current image of the entire industry is very affected. ”
"The public now has some complaints about the entire entertainment industry, and even wishes that something would happen to your industry. ”
"I used to like to say something, but then I didn't bother to say it, because I found it useless..."
There was no much talk about this question, Lu Xiaoran continued: "Now China's bad movie market is polarized, one is the mercenary generation, who will do everything to make money;
"It doesn't matter what the effect is after it comes out, whether the audience likes it or hates it, but our sincerity is out!"
"Movies are a business, if you just do a variety show and a big movie can sell well, who is willing to sink down and ponder the script; if Xiao Xianrou can make money by playing handsome, who is willing to study acting skills with all his heart? The more excellent works are successful, the more people are willing to repeat this path, in a sense, this is a good thing!"
"Then talk about you? You're the richest man in China now, aren't you?"
“… I don't know, isn't the big old man the richest man?"
"He is no longer the richest man, I heard that ByteDance's valuation has exceeded $60 billion, and it is likely to exceed $100 billion in market value if it goes public..."
Lu Xiaoran was surprised: "So powerful?"
“… Don't you care about any of that?"
"Let me emphasize one more sentence, I really have no interest in money, I don't pretend to be forced, I don't cheat people, the most important thing in life is happiness, money is a thing, more or less brings you happiness, but money is unstable, and the happiness it brings is also unstable, although I am not to the extent that I am not happy with things, not to the extent of self-sorrow, but my interest in money is really not as big as before, I don't even know how much money I made last year!"
"Could that be because you have too much money to count?"
“… It's not for this reason, I think many people don't make money for the sake of making money, but work hard to achieve a certain goal, making money is just a thing to complete by the way, for example, I invested in ByteDance back then, and it was called Toutiao at the time, I just felt that the mobile Internet era needed algorithm recommendation instead of search, so I voted for Zhang Yiming..."
